Revelations 2:18-20
18 “To the angel of the Messianic Community in Thyatira, write: ‘Here is the message from the Son of God, whose eyes are like a fiery flame and whose feet are like burnished brass: 19 I know what you are doing, your love, trust, service and perseverance. And I know that you are doing more now than before. 20 But I have this against you: you continue to tolerate that Izevel woman, the one who claims to be a prophet, but is teaching and deceiving my servants to commit sexual sin and eat food that has been sacrificed to idols.

1 Kings 19:18-21
18 Still, I will spare seven thousand in Isra’el, every knee that hasn’t bent down before Ba‘al and every mouth that has not kissed him.” 19 So he left and found Elisha the son of Shafat. He was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen; he himself was behind the twelfth. Eliyahu went over to him and threw his cloak on him. 20 He left the oxen, ran after Eliyahu and said, “Please let me kiss my father and mother good-bye; then I will follow you.” He answered, “Go; but return, because of what I did to you.” 21 Elisha stopped following him. Then he took the yoke of oxen, slaughtered them, cooked their meat over the wooden yokes of the oxen and gave it to the people to eat. Then he got up, went after Eliyahu and became his servant.

Fiveamprayer oh yes here we go again, but this time protocol will be followed and masks will be revealed--most of all tolerance will be know more!!!


Unholy Alliances
Nelson took another sip of coffee and continued to watch the attractive young woman. She was tastefully dressed in a dark suit and had the look of optimism—a confident handshake and direct eye contact, while soulfully engaging people in conversation. With her penetrating charisma, the woman was vivacious and enthusiastic. She had the ability to draw people to her. She was fun to be with and seemed to be a devoted student of the Bible. Nelson’s church was beginning to shrink. Individuals that he had earmarked for leadership had left. To fill their void, Nelson needed to find new leaders. Each month his desperation increased, as the money from tithes and offerings continued to shrink. During their times together, the woman suggested her theories on how to increase church membership. A savvy businesswoman, she created a blueprint to steer the church towards a position of dominance. Over the ensuing months, she became more entrenched in the church and began to lead a women’s Bible study group. At the same time, Nelson was puzzled by the woman’s beliefs. She seemed to be in touch with the spirit, however, it seemed to be a “dark spirit.” This spirit had told her to do unusual things, some of which had previously resulted in immorality. Despite this, Nelson and his wife loved being around this woman. Seeing her potential, they met with the woman often and attempted to mentor her. As they placed their hopes in her, young women in the church began to rally around this woman. While her influence grew, Nelson’s diminished like a slow leaking tire. Each month, the church continued to shrink in members. Then, Nelson’s wife began to suffer various illnesses, and his mind became filled with sexual fantasies. To make matters worse, his once amiable church staff became divisive and their vibrant small-groups program began to dwindle. One day, Nelson called and asked for help. As I began to seek God, a dream came, allowing me to see through the enemy’s smoke screen. I relayed what God had shown me, which he affirmed as accurate. But Nelson and his wife still seemed torn. Stalled by indecision and confusion, they continued to give the woman responsibility, leadership, and authority within the church. They admitted that she might occasionally receive counsel from a “spirit guide.” Nonetheless, they loved this woman and wanted to help her. What were they to do?

What I have just described is called an unholy alliance—a relationship that draws you inevitably to dire results, even though you are aware the person willfully continues to sin. Furthermore, it is evident from Scripture that God does not sanction such a person being given a leadership position within the church.

We can find ourselves in many similar but different instances. The attachment of someone sucking the very life out of your as you see your quality of life dwindle and decay...unwise association. What fellowship has light with darkness?


Divided Loyalties
As we read in 1 Kings about Ahab and Jezebel and their arranged marriage. Israel was never to marry foreign pagan nations only amongst the nation of Israel. To marry Jezebel would form and unholy alliance and cause the entry of pagan worship, child sacrifice and sexual sins. For Jezabel was called a prostitute and harlot.


2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not yoke yourselves together in a team with unbelievers. For how can righteousness and lawlessness be partners? What fellowship does light have with darkness?


Deadly Diva
Jezebel had learned treachery from her father, Ethbaal, whose name meant “like unto Baal.” Ethbaal had become king by plotting murder. Thereby, Jezebel’s penchant for murder had generational roots. Eliminating someone’s life was merely incidental to achieving an objective. Jezebel was no ordinary woman. She had a flair for the dramatic. Every action she took, every word she spoke must have been done with great passion and unholy abandonment.

Peace at any Cost
A spirit of Ahab symbolizes the abdication of authority, or at the very least, passive authority. It bespeaks of a mind-set that avoids confrontation and denies fault. The spirit of Ahab loves the position it has and fears confrontation.

Placating Leaders
Like many leaders today, Ahab’s reign was characterized by trying to placate and pacify Jezebel’s demands. He tolerated Jezebel’s abominable decrees and practices. Many pastors embrace an individual influenced by a Jezebel spirit because the person appears to have leadership skills or spiritual insight that a pastor thinks will help their church grow.

Avoiding Confrontations
It takes a courageous pastor to confront the strength and obstinacy of a Jezebel spirit. By their actions, individuals with a Jezebel spirit will reveal a pastor’s strengths and weaknesses.

Conspiring With Darkness
If a pastor feigns ignorance of Jezebel’s wrongdoing, the pastor may become a kindred spirit. Knowingly or unknowingly, the pastor will align himself or herself with this spirit. Their methods and goals will begin to parallel one another. A pastor will also quickly discover that he or she can accomplish their goals by exploiting his or her spiritual mirror image, becoming a conspirator with darkness. One of two judgments will come to such pastors, unless they recognize their error and repent. They will either fully embrace a Jezebel spirit and become puppet kings subject to strong delusion, heavy depression, and indecision even in the smallest matters. Or, they and their churches will face spiritual famine. God’s manifest presence will be removed from their midst. Only the memory of His presence will remain. Most likely, they will not perceive this as God’s judgment.


Tolerating The Enemy
When a pastor has a trusted friend who begins to show traits of the Jezebel spirit, it becomes easy for the pastor to justify the person’s rebellion or to simply ignore it. Generally, pastors demonstrate tolerance toward those who are “friends.” However, the trust and loyalty given to a friend will create a blind spot.

Fruits Of Tolerance
Just as Ahab permitted Jezebel to sacrifice children as a form of worship, so our permissive spirit allows the Jezebel spirit to remain. Through self-promoting, controlling, and manipulative schemes, this spirit also seeks to abort those who are young or immature in the Lord. Moreover, this spirit welcomes false teachers who are driven by the intellectual power of the soul. Beloved, the hour has come for a new mandate. It is rising up in the land and gaining momentum. God is empowering His Church with boldness and zeal brought about by true apostolic and prophetic voices. In this hour, God desires the spirit of prophecy, which is the testimony of Jesus, to be vibrant in every church. The prophetic spirit will reveal that which is hidden.

1 KINGS 21:25
But there was no one like Ahab who sold himself to do wickedness in the sight of the Lord, because Jezebel his wife stirred him up


Victorious Battles
At this point in history, a great battle awaits God’s representatives—the shepherds of His Church. Pastors are being summoned by the Lord to take on the spirit of valor and to stand up as true kings. Just as Jehu’s commission was to rid God’s Kingdom of the defiling and demoralizing influences of Ahab and Jezebel, a call is going forth today to remove those same apostate spirits from the Church.

2 Kings 9:6-7
Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘I have anointed you king over the people of the Lord, over Israel…that I may avenge the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, at the hand of Jezebel.

Family we must confront and not tolerate that which The Most High has called in our lives unholy alliances. Lest we ourselves are tormented by giving ourselves over to that which was already conquered. No More Toleration Friends family ourselves loved ones. No if it’s not a holy alliance than put Jehu on it.  Shema Selah, let us pause and consider this teaching--no more toleration of the Jezebel Spirit!!  Facebook LIVE video
